The Fresh Mix
- 4 Large Hard-Boiled Eggs
- 1/3 cup Classic or Roasted Garlic Hummus
- 1 tsp Dijon Mustard
- 1 tbsp Fresh Parsley or Dill (chopped)
- 1/4 cup Celery (finely diced)
- Squeeze of Lemon Juice
- Pinch of Paprika, Salt & Pepper
Simple Preparation
- Prep the Eggs: Peel your hard-boiled eggs and chop them into bite-sized pieces. If you like a creamier salad, mash two of the yolks directly into the hummus first.
- The Base: In a medium bowl, stir together the hummus, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice until smooth.
- Combine: Add the chopped eggs, diced celery, and fresh herbs to the bowl.
- Toss Gently: Fold everything together until the eggs are evenly coated.
- Season: Add salt, pepper, and a dash of paprika to taste. Serve on whole-grain toast, in a pita pocket, or inside lettuce wraps.
Chef’s Trick: Want a “Red Pepper” twist? Use Roasted Red Pepper hummus and swap the parsley for fresh basil. It adds a lovely sweetness and vibrant color!
